Our largely for-profit media's goal is to survive and thrive.
Oblivious to the irony of a morally relative ideology purporting to identify "The truth" when ideologically necessary to advance a political "Narrative," accountability journalism reaps what it purports to stanch: the erosion of public trust in the media.
This lack of public trust stems from a second factor: the media's transmogrification from objective journalism to "Accountability journalism." The latter is merely a pretext for leftist journalists to eschew objectivity and insert their own biases into the "News." The result? Over the past five years, much of the public recognizes the leftist media as the biggest manufacturer and purveyor of misinformation, disinformation, and conspiracy theories.
We're left with a regime media, one fully in sync and beholden to the administrative state upon which it is dependent for the leaks that advance careers and prop up sagging ratings and circulation.
Counterintuitively, the media shows little effort to provide it, or at least express outrage at the appropriate authorities for stonewalling them.
Why? Because the regime media abets the stonewalling, hoping the public's attention span moves on to matters that, if reported upon, are less perilous and more helpful to advancing the administrative state's agenda.
Thus, as the regime media's fourth estate serfs obediently toil on behalf of their administrative state lords, they combine to abet Jeffrey Epstein and his unnamed and unpunished co-conspirators to claim their latest victim-the public's right to know.
